GDT: QF - SWE vs. FIN May 23, 2024

[mattihp]

Finland looks more and more like Finland. Opportunistic.

 

[FinPanda]

This is going exactly like Finland wanted.

 

[Slimmy]

Friberg not dressed. Big mistake.

 

[SwissFan12]

Sweden not able to score on 24 shots is a great sign for Finland

 

[Finnswiss]

Ok, the Finns survived 2 periods without receiving a goal. But they need to improve their game in the offense according to the shots statistic. 24 shots at the Finnish goal, and only 8 at the Swedish goal. This reminds me of the game against the Czechs. They didn't score there too and lost then in the shootout.

What is good is that Sweden isn't allowed to build their offense from their d-men. Their forwards are really good, but not exactly geniuses.

 

[Luolis]

This is so scary to watch. Adrenaline heavy hockey and it'll just get worse. Promising that Finland started doing stuff late in the period. Anything is possible.

 

[Jukurit]

Larmi vs Sweden 0-0 after 2.

 

[Gsus]

If Finland drops out, this will be a huge disappointment. If Sweden loses, this will be a HUGE disappointment.

 

[mattihp]

Pulju is invisible exactly every other game. He was invisible last game, just saying..

 

[weklof]

This is exactly the gam Finland wanted. The team that scores the first goal will win

 

[FinPanda]

No matter how this game will end, they are following the game plan and they have played our best game of the tournemnt. Quite happy, we do need more shots on goal though.

 

[Sanf]

Last roughly 7 minutes were much better. But we need to score in third because we get killed in OT or shootout.

 

[EK47]

The most concerning thing is, the longer the game goes on for the less dangerous Swedens chances get. Yeah. I’m sorry I think this game is cooked they’re choking.

 

[theslatcher]

Give me some cross-crease passes now, Sweden.

I kinda find that hopeful, not concerning.

 

[Zaar]

Three shots in the second period are not exactly the best way to score first. But at least Finland created some more offense at the end of the second period.

 

[mattihp]

Give me some cross-crease passes now, Sweden.

Sweden's offense is built on the pass back to those blueline maestros.

 

[Brunkmeister]

It’s a rysare.

 

[theslatcher]

Sweden's offense is built on the pass back to those blueline maestros.

Yeah I've seen this type of coaching before and the moment a coaching and system change happened a cup came along.

 

[mattihp]

Hallam is a gem. The best Sweden has had for quite a while. He can have different game plans all together depending on the material at his disposal.

18 nhl players.

He is, but he's a bit too stubborn on certain things at times.

 

[mattihp]

He is, but he's a bit too stubborn on certain things at times.

The best ones always are.

 

[Pentothal]

The quintessential Sweden - Finland experience. Toothless skill and speed vs Jalonism.. And a decent enough SHL goalie turning into Kiprusoff out of nowhere.
